be straight up with them. Explain how your feeling and if they said that you’re okay tell them that you’re not. communication is really important and you should be with someone who puts equal effort into the relationship.
this is kinda shitty. communication is important but so is space and if op’s SO wants or needs space then they’re entitled to that. there’s a difference between putting effort into a relationship and needing space or just being busy lol
If their partner needs space that’s fine but those needs should be communicated. if your partner is communicating something (ie. feeling like there’s a rift or distance) then a partner should also be hearing those concerns. Not telling them that there okay and brushing those concerns off.
Needing space and time for yourself is important in a relationship but it doesn’t mean you can brush off your partners worries. Talk about it.
